Model Trigonometry with a Ferris Wheel Day 2 of 2
Lesson 14 of 19
Objective: Students will be able to model the movement of a Ferris Wheel using trigonometry.
I include Warm ups with a Rubric as part of my daily routine. My goal is to allow students to work on Math Practice 3 each day. Grouping students into homogeneous pairs provides an opportunity for appropriately differentiated math conversations. The Video Narrative explains this lesson's Warm Up-Ferris Wheel Day 2 which asks students to identify things that could be modeled with sine or cosine.
I also use this time to correct and record the previous day's Homework.
Resources (7)
This is a complete lesson found on the MARS (Math Assessment Resource Service) website. I have broken it up into two days. Since this is already a wonderful complete lesson, I will share my pacing and key portions but the original should be read if you plan on trying this lesson. In the previous lesson, the students completed a formative assessment that I have looked at to identify any areas of struggle.
The first goal for today is a paired matching activity (Math Practice 2). Each student will receive the A and B cards from the lesson, a big sheet of paper, and a glue stick. The instructions from the lesson are as follows:
- Take it in turns to match and place cards. Place them next to each other, not on top, so that everyone can see.
- When you match two cards, explain how you came to your decision.
- Your partner should either explain that reasoning again in his or her own words, or challenge the reasons you gave.
- You both need to be able to agree on and explain the placement of every card.
- If you cannot find a card to match, then make one up yourself.
These are located in my PowerPoint. The key to this portion is that they alternate justifying each other's reasoning (Math Practice 3). I may want to model this behavior if they seem unsure. I walk round listening to the sharing, keeping kids on track, and asking formative questions if anyone is struggling. There is a beautiful list of questions in the MARS lesson plan on page 4.

Adding in the Model
Once most of the groups have completed their work, I pause them to introduce then next portion of the activity. We look at the slide with the diagram of the Ferris wheel (Math Practice 4). Here are the suggested directions from the MARS lesson plan:
- Each of the functions you have been looking at models the motion of a Ferris wheel.
- I now want you to try to match the correct wheel description to the graphs and functions on the table.
- On these graphs the heights are given in meters and the times in seconds.
I ensure that the students understand axles. The students then finish their chart by adding in the wheel descriptions. Again, I walk around, keep students on track, and ask guiding questions to anyone who is struggling. There is a terrific list on page 7 of the MARS lesson plan.
Class Discussion/Conclusion
The goal of this portion is not to check that everyone got the correct answer. It is to give students an opportunity to share their thinking and to formalize, as a class, how each separate portion of the cosine function is represented in our Ferris wheel model. While they provided a slide to aid in this, I chose not to use it. I pulled the image out and will use it without the extra calculations. I think they may distract from the students providing their own thinking. I ask the students to write a conclusion statement in their notes talking about the similarities between the functions on their graphs. I will then have the students share their conclusions.
After everyone has shared, I ask leading questions to get to any remaining information. One important thing is why cosine is being used rather than sine (Math Practice 7). Next, we will make sure that the important features of each Ferris wheel have been completely covered. As a class, we determine how the diameter, height of the axle, and rotation time are represented in the function. Finally, a general form is either written by the students(higher level) or written together. This form is where y represent the height of the rider and t represents seconds. Another good question is why there is a minus sign in the general form.
The assignment for this lesson a similar problem to the original assignment that my students did in the previous lesson. The goal is to see the growth in their knowledge and understanding. If there is any time after the class discussion, class time may be used. This assignment is on page 16 of the MARS Ferris Wheel Lesson Plan.
Exit Ticket
I use an exit ticket each day as a quick formative assessment to judge the success of the lesson.
This Exit Ticket assesses students' ability to transform a tangent function.

First graders are inquisitive. Give them something they haven't seen before and watch their imaginations catch fire as they try to figure out just what it is and where it came from and what it has to do with them.
A cotton stalk, for instance, holds many mysteries.
"Is that a cotton tree?" one asked. "Why do they call those things bolls?" another chimed in. "Do they make cotton candy out of that?" asked one little girl.
I volunteer to read to a group of first graders once a week at a nearby elementary school. They seem to enjoy the change of routine and I get a charge from my weekly visits. I always leave with a chuckle and a new appreciation for those who teach our children.
For the past few years, I've collected a cotton stalk sometime in the fall and I take it to the class and explain what cotton does for all of us. Thanks to my good friend Jim Swart, IPM agent in Commerce, Texas, for collecting this stalk for me.
I did explain that cotton in Texas does not actually make a tree but that it does in warmer climates. I also explained that the blue jeans and shirts they were wearing all started on a stalk very similar to the one I brought in.
"Why are our jeans blue and cotton is white?" asked one student. So I explained, as best I could, about how fabric or yarn is dyed in the mills.
They wondered how those fluffy white bolls could turn into yarn and then cloth. I explained, as best I could, how the bolls are fibers. I pulled a bit out of one boll, let it string out to show how it changes from a round puff of white into something resembling a string. I asked if any of their moms or grandmothers were knitters. Several were. I explained how making cotton into cloth was similar to knitting. You take two strings of yarn and slowly weave them together. They seemed to understand that.
The amazing thing, to me, was their fascination with something they had either never seen before or had never seen up close. One little girl said she had seen a cotton field once on a family trip but it was at night so they couldn't get out and look at it. Now she's seen cotton up close and personal.
These are smart children. They always enjoy a good story and they always seem eager to learn something new.
If you are enjoying reading this article, please check out Southwest Farm Press Daily and receive the latest news right to your inbox.
The stalk was filled with bolls so I left it in the classroom so the kids could pick a boll to take home with them.
Their teacher, with whom I've enjoyed these weekly visits for five years now, was pleased. She sent me an email later in the day.
"The kids LOVED seeing the cotton 'tree' today and are so excited about getting a boll to take home! It was so fun to see their brains working while they thought of questions :). Thanks for sharing that with us!!"
My pleasure.
We also read a book that went well with my show and tell activity. The Cow in Patrick O'Shannahan's Kitchen, by Diana Prichard, illustrated by Heather Devlin Kopf, published by Little Pickle Press, illustrates where food comes from. It's not just the kitchen.
Patrick's kitchen mysteriously was inhabited one morning by a cow, some chickens and a grove of maple trees. His dad made French toast.
And Patrick, and the first graders, learned a little bit about where their food originates. Cows and chickens and maple trees don't grow in kitchens—except in an imaginary setting. The eggs, milk, syrup and other food items come from farms.
The book provided an opportunity to talk about where other things come from—green beans, potatoes, carrots. And with a cotton stalk leaning against a table as a backdrop, I think they got a little better idea about the importance of farms.
"I want to be a farmer when I grow up," one little girl said. I had to smile.

After the resounding success of the Superprestigio indoor dirt track event back in January this year, the race is to return. On December 13th, the Sant Jordi stadium on Montjuic, the hill south of Barcelona, will host the second running of the Superprestigio, featuring the cream of motorcycle road racing taking on some of superstars of American flat track racing.
Reigning Superprestigio champion Brad Baker will be back in Barcelona once again, to defend the honor gained back in January. He will be joined by reigning AMA flat track Grand National champion Jared Mees, the two Americans defending the reputation of the home of dirt track, and the country the sport originated in its current form.
They will have their work cut out for them: they will face some the best circuit racers in the world, with reigning and former champions taking to the short indoor oval. All three Grand Prix champions – Marc Marquez, Tito Rabat, and Alex Marquez – will be lining up in Barcelona, the three avid practitioners of the art.
They will be joined by legendary former World Superbike champion Troy Bayliss, now spending his retirement racing dirt track and running his own invitational dirt track event, the Troy Bayliss Classic, which will run on January 17th next year. Another world champion will also be taking to the dirt, with Supermoto S1 world champ Thomas Chareyre also joining the fray.

Email marketers have always faced the technological challenge of having to quickly adapting to the unknown, often in a matter of hours.
This week is one of those, where we find that Gmail has made changes to the way it handles images. At first, I can appreciate that this may sound insignificant, but it affects all of us.
In this blog post, I will try to demystify these changes for you.
What are the changes to Gmail?
Traditionally, when you open an email, the images download. When you go back to the email, a second impression of each of those images is recorded.
However, this week Gmail has changed this so that when the email is opened for the first time, Gmail changes the image links so that upon any further impressions/opens, they are served from the Gmail content platform.
How does this affect email marketers?
The following elements of your email marketing are some of the areas that you are likely to be affected:
You will not be able to track Gmail opens beyond the first open. Here's an example scenario: email@example.com opens an email from you. If firstname.lastname@example.com then goes back to that email and opens it for a second time, it will not be tracked on the second open or any future opens.
Only the first instance of the open will be reported. Therefore, you may experience a lower gross open rate.
Location-based live content is likely to be inaccurate, as this is image-based. Currently, all geolocation content is showing as a Google server address, rather than the realtime location on the recipient, even on first open.
We are seeing this already, in all locations worldwide.
- Countdown timers that are fetched in real-time, will not update and fetch the new image upon the second time the email is opened. The original image will be shown again. This is currently not affecting users in the UK, but that is likely to be because Google are still rolling this out.
- Any analytics-based tracking by platform (webmail, desktop, mobile), and device will likely only count the first open in Gmail, rather than all of the opens.
- If you want to make a change to an image in an email that you have already sent out, perhaps because there is an error, you can of course overwrite the image in your ESP platform. However, Gmail recipients will not see the new image - just the old one.
Matt Hayes, Co-Founder of, Kickdynamic added
It is important to remember that images still have the same impact for email marketers as always. When users go back and re-open the email for the second time the same image is also displayed as normal. The user experience remains unaffected.
Live content still works at the first open. Subsequent opens will display the same image as the first open, which still has significant relevance and personalisation to the customer. Therefore, live content and open time personalisation still has a significant impact on email engagement.
Are there any workarounds?
Currently, there aren't any known workarounds. It isn't clear if Google will change this back at some point in the future, and sometimes we have seen changes like this quickly reversed when the impact on the industry is fully understood and taken into consideration.
But for now, the situation remains as I have explained here.

Great post Phil!
Any idea if this affects emails viewed through POP accounts or mobile devices? I'm guessing that it doesn't.
Thanks for the heads up!
Hi Phillip
I have spent considerable time on this issue since it reared its ugly head, I imagine much like yourself. However I have drawn different conclusions. I have tested not only Campaign Monitor Platform but also others.
I believe the issues in relation to image cache that appear in the native Gmail interface (something that has been around for a long time) are being confused somewhat with the more recent change of serving images via a Google Proxy.
In relation to how my findings differ from yours:
1." You will not be able to track Gmail opens beyond the first open. "
I believe this is platform dependant. In a 90 second window we see multiple opens being recorded from the same recipient using a single device at Campaign Monitor. I believe the same is true at Smart Focus. In addition my testing at MailChimp showed multiple opens from the same recipient as long as they CHANGED devices.
Many are reporting the single open issue, others seem completely unaffected, whilst some report a total #FAIL.
3. I have not seen this, and my tests involved both US Servers, US clients and APAC recipients/US Servers. See point 1
4. In regards to the analytics, as Gmail is already changing the 'device' that requests the first image, people are already seeing issues with device reporting on some platforms. This should not however affect the 'open' count - unique or otherwise, it is unrelated. However as it appears they are simply appending additional data to the under of the User Agent string, most platforms should be able to resolve this issue fairly quickly.
5. Have you checked the cache in respect of this? If a user has not yet opened the email I am confident they will be served the latest version of the image. If they switch device I believe they are highly likely to see the latest version of the image. If enough time passes between opens I am confident they will see the latest version of the image too.
Of course we may all be seeing different things, as things may be deployed by Gmail to specific geo-locations, or certain code changes are only being pushed from specific data centres and as a result tests may differ from one platform or recipient to another.
To answer Andrew Kings questions, I see this is not affecting those POP3ing in to collect their email.
My own research, findings and analysis on the subject is here:
Thanks Phillip for sharing your findings, those and the differences I have seen certainly give much room for thought. Hopefully Gmail will come out with a statement or just roll-back at some point.
I love gmail.com
I need gmail.com
With Google and GMail constantly making changes, it has become more and more difficult for the average small business to keep up with the changes while continuing to run a successful business. However, as Google currently has 80% of the searches in the world, it appears that we will have to adjust to them rather than Google adjusting to our needs. Oftentimes, small businesses who are having difficulty keeping up with the trends in e-mail or search engine algorithms can find an affordable solution in a small business marketing expert that can help guide them to the most successful means of digital marketing.
hi berathers
Thanks for your comments.
We have carried out further extensive tests at Lyris and this issue does not affect open tracking on our platform either (in response to Andrew Bonar's comment). We are seeing some small issues with geolocation content such as live maps, but only in a small number of cases.
As for why they have done this, our global head of deliverability suggests that is likely down to anti-spam measures, or a move towards enabling selective image preloading. For now, who know.
How do we overcome things like this as an industry? I think as an industry, we need to campaign to be notified and involved in changes and developments like this. How realistic is this idea? Well, I think it's unlikely, given previous attempts such as fixoutlook.org, but we should at least try.
Have a great day, all.
i hate google/gmail
Isn't this a good thing for marketers? Rather than Gmail users not bothering to click 'load images' (I suspect a number users) they'll now see the email as you intended, and indeed you will be able to track the opens better overall, rather the artificially low numbers Gmail previously?
I found Google's official line on the matter:
See the section "How Gmail makes images safe"
It means a loss of visibility of some information from opened emails and I suppose it means that marketers will need to try even harder to give a reason to people to click through from the emails, back to their websites or call centres.
However, as Gav said, at least you can be more confident that people will even see your well-crafted images and photos as they load automatically.
And of course, you can populate your links with campaign codes so that you know which email sent them to the site, and as soon as they land you will get all of the lovely rich data.
We have also tested this issue and is not as bad as it seemed at first. Open rates can still be calculated, and if several devices are used, several opens can be tracked.
As for geolocation, I'm with Steve, a simple link with Google Analytics support can give out that info, and it's also a good idea to have your email campaigns linked with Google Analytics, so more info can be get, including conversion tracking.

Walking through the retrospective exhibition of Lee Bontecou, on view at MoMA-Queens, is uncannily like visiting an out-of-the-way museum of natural history, as if her entire work to date had been dedicated to the creation of a single work of installation art: a musée imaginaire. It begins with some animal sculptures and continues through what look like scientific instruments–cameras and other devices for the observation and recording of nature. These evolve into larger and larger structures, made of wire armatures covered with scraps of used fabric, each with one or two dark holes; like tribal masks, they convey an air of menace and mystery. One could construct a speculative anthropology for these extraordinary structures–what they mean, and how they function. We could imagine an entire culture, a cargo cult, as it were, dedicated to their fabrication out of salvaged metal and found cloth. Next, one passes vitrines displaying translucent flora, or perhaps insects or even enlarged marine creatures midway between animalcules and vegetation. Then, suddenly, one encounters forms that are immediately recognized as fish, with spiky fins, goggle eyes and dangerous teeth, which evoke corresponding features in what, for want of a better term, I have been calling masks. There are some drawings, quite beautiful, of flowers or flowerlike forms, and of fish. A large fish, seemingly clad with natural armor, is suspended from the ceiling. Now we encounter some mollusklike shapes on pedestals, some drawings of waves, reminiscent of exquisite drawings of waves by Leonardo. In the final galleries are models for visionary spacecraft, with propellers and sails–or they could be large models of mosquitolike bugs–and then some suspended galaxies, imaginary planetary systems of exceptional delicacy containing bodies that have the appearance of eyeballs. And there are sheets on which eyes–human, animal, bird, insect, fish–are finely drawn. Taken as a whole, the installation is like a cabinet of wonders.
Bontecou is 73, and the show provides a chronological survey of nearly half a century of artistic production. Since she has not exhibited in New York for more than thirty years, the exhibition also offers an answer to a question not infrequently asked in the art world: Whatever happened to Lee Bontecou? Her considerable reputation rests on the large metal-and-fabric objects first shown in Leo Castelli's gallery in 1960. These seemed to belong with the most advanced art of the era, and at the same time to carry an aura of scary otherness. In a critical essay published in 1965, Donald Judd paid tribute to both aspects of these works. "Lee Bontecou was one of the first to use a three-dimensional form that was neither painting nor sculpture," he wrote, giving her credit for overcoming the sharp division between different media that critics like Clement Greenberg had insisted upon, in favor of what Judd designated as "specific objects." But Judd went on to say, "The image cannot be contemplated; it has to be dealt with as an object, at least viewed with puzzlement and wariness, as would be any strange object, and at most seen with terror, as would be a beached mine or a well hidden in the grass. The image extends from something as social as war to something as private as sex, making one an aspect of the other." Bontecou's objects lent themselves to the most rarefied speculations on the ontology of the artwork, and at the same time confronted the viewer with something almost frighteningly aggressive, like the effigies of protective monsters guarding sacred sites. Nothing like that had existed, as austere as geometry and as terrifying as Minotaurs.
Though her pieces are three-dimensional, they are all frontal and are intended to hang at eye level. And each is organized around an orifice, rather than simply a hole, which has a depth and blackness. The menace of the pieces is conveyed by this opening. Bontecou interestingly refers to the mouth in the celebrated Bocca della Verità–"the Mouth of Truth"–which she must have gotten to know while a Fulbright scholar in Rome in the late 1950s. It is a large circular carving of a bearded face with an open mouth from ancient Roman times, now part of the facade of Santa Maria in Cosmedin. The face has other openings–eyes and nostrils–and is said to have been a sewer cover in ancient Rome. The legend is that if one tells a lie and then puts one's hand into the "Mouth of Truth," it will be bitten off. The defining orifices of Bontecou's work imply the sudden violence of a stone mouth. Or it could be the empty eye-socket of a cyclopean presence that still manages to hold us in its baleful stare. It signals the vaginal opening to many and, when fitted with points or industrial zippers, one or another mode of female fearfulness to others. Whatever interpretation one draws, it has the primordial fascination of a dark opening into an alien interior, which we penetrate at our own risk.

ll of Montana has the deepest pride and affection for Virginia City. No more colorful pioneer mining camp ever existed. Dramatic tales of the early days in this vicinity are legion. Rich placer diggings were discovered in Alder Gulch in the spring of 1863 and the stampede of gold seekers and their parasites was on! Sluices soon lined the gulch and various "cities" blossomed forth as trading and amusement centers for free handed miners. Virginia City, the best known of these and the sole survivor, became the Capitol of the Territory.
The very much alive ghost town, Virginia City, Montana, is frozen in time. It is a remarkably well preserved old west Victorian gold mining town just 20 miles west of Yellowstone National Park (90 miles by road). When the gold ran out, there was still enough left so that homes and businesses were occupied, but there was not enough wealth to remodel the buildings. So it froze, and now represents the whole Victorian era. It is the true and original Old West. It is a gem, held within an incredibly rich area of natural beauty, recreation and history

City parts ways with embattled officer
Embattled McMinnville police officer Tim Heidt no longer works for the city, the News-Register has learned.
City Attorney Candace Haines confirmed Friday that Heidt's employment ended Thursday. She declined to elaborate, saying, "As this is a personnel matter, I can't discuss in further under the terms of ORS 192.501(12)," and Chief Ron Noble was out of town.
The News-Register is in the process of preparing a public records request, arguing that in such a controversial and highly publicized case, the public interest in the workings of its police department outweighs the privacy right of an individual officer.
Heidt has been involved in two high-profile incidents in recent years — the beating of a bystander in a 2010 drunk driving stop and a drunken off-duty brawl in Seaside two years later.
The beating led to the filing of a federal lawsuit seeking $1 million in damages, predicated on use of excessive force.
According to a court filing confirmed by local officials, a settlement has now been reached. They have promised to release the terms as soon as opposing attorneys have finalized the details, in the interest of openness and transparency.

This week, for the first time ever, all Chicago Public Schools (CPS) students took advantage of a Full School Day that provides them with the time they need for quality instruction in the classroom with their teachers, as well as new opportunities for creative learning and extracurricular activities that were not available even just last year.
"For the first time, all of Chicago's students have a Full School Day and a full school year that measures up to their full potential," said Mayor Rahm Emanuel. "Students and teachers are no longer restricted to the shortest school day and shortest school year of any major city in the nation, and our students now have ample time to learn and thrive."
The Full School Day looks different at each school, as each principal and school community has been given the resources and flexibility to structure a quality school day that best meets the unique needs of their student body.
"It's inspiring to see the creative ways schools are using additional time and resources in the classroom," said CPS CEO Jean-Claude Brizard. "With more time in the classroom with their teachers, students will have more opportunity to learn and succeed."
For example, when Carl von Linne Elementary opened its doors this year on September 4, students immediately had access to 15 more minutes a day in math, 15 more minutes a day in history and 15 more minutes a day in reading. That is almost an additional hour in math, in history and in reading that students would not have had without the Full School Day in only the past week.
Similarly, at Spencer Technology Academy in Austin, students have been getting 20 more minutes a day in reading and 15 more minutes a day in math. In the past month, that's 5 more hours in math and 5 more hours for reading that students would not have had without the full school day. That's over 6 hours more instruction in math and 5 hours in reading that these students did not have last year.
For the past week, students at Prieto Math & Science Elementary School have had 20 more minutes a day in English/language arts class, as well as new music, physical education and technology classes. That is over an hour more of English/language arts in just one week that students would not have had last year. The benefits of this time will continue to grow over the course of the school year, enriching the student-learning experience.
This school year, new opportunities available to CPS students include:
Additionally, parents are able to see their school's report cards right on the CPS website at www.cps.edu.
Chicago Public Schools serves 402,000 students in 675 schools. It is the nation's third-largest school district.

Psych Club remains active on campus
Adams State University Psi Chi/Psychology Club will induct seven new members at the end of February. Club members include students with an interest in psychology. Students in the top 35 percent of their class may be eligible for Psi Chi, the international honor society in psychology. One student, Tucker Jones, was recently awarded a Psi Chi Undergraduate Research Grant in the amount of $1500 to support his Honors Thesis research.
The club participates in a number of activities and events throughout the year. This year's activities have included community service, educational fundraisers, and, in the future, a lecture for the campus community.
During the fall the club members participated in Adams State Cares Day and volunteered at a local farm cleaning the fields. The honor society/club was involved in Adams State's competitive homecoming activities, such as the annual Medicine Show (a comedy skit show), parade, and other events, and were awarded first place.
Homecoming award money, along with fundraiser proceeds, will help the members attend the regional convention hosted by the Rocky Mountain Psychological Association this April in Denver. They hope to take as many as 12 students, with 4 of them presenting original research.
At the 2012 Autumn@Adams Cook-Off, the club raised money by selling supertaster strips. This genetic test determines whether one is among approximately 25 percent of the population whom experiences taste more intensely.
The other major fundraiser, "Drunken Darts," was paired with alcohol awareness literature and information about counseling and addiction resources on campus. Students could purchase a chance to score a bulls-eye on a dart board, while wearing goggles that simulate intoxication, with the potential prize of $50.
This spring the club will host an invited lecture by Jeff Elison, assistant professor of psychology, on shame and coping.
For more information about this organization, please contact the faculty advisor, Dr. Leslie Alvarez, associate professor of psychology at email@example.com. Club officers include Rachel Lundgren, Psi Chi president; Tucker Jones, Psi Chi vice president; Lindsey Scwindt, Psi Chi secretary; Jo Hartley, Psychology Club president; Felicia Carter, Psychology Club vice president; and Tegan Oehman, Psychology Club treasurer.

Cut QualityThe ideal cut diamond is a very precise mathematical equation, where diamond proportions and angles are cut to optimize the diamond's superlative optical properties, in particular it's high refractive index and color dispersion, to create a diamond of unequaled beauty with perfect balance of brilliance and fire. In layman's terms, the diamond is cut to make it the most beautiful diamond so it retains its intrinsic value.
ColorDiamonds of E color are virtually colorless. Only less than 0.7% of natural diamonds have this color. Diamonds of this color grade will appear colorless even when observed face down against a flat white background.
ClarityDiamonds of VS2 clarity have very small inclusions grade two. Inclusions VS2 diamonds are somewhat easy for a skilled grader to locate under 10x magnification. Diamonds that are graded VS in clarity are still very impressive looking diamonds under a microscope. Of course nothing is visible at all to the human eye. Such diamonds have a great balance between good clarity and exceptional price.

Ben Affleck has another shot at playing a superhero after landing the role of Batman in the follow-up to Man Of Steel sequel.
The Oscar winner will suit up to play the Caped Crusader alongside Henry Cavill as Superman in the as-yet-untitled sequel, which is expected to begin production next year (14) ahead of a July 2015 release.
In a statement announcing the casting, director Zack Snyder says, "Ben provides an interesting counter-balance to Henry's Superman. He has the acting chops to create a layered portrayal of a man who is older and wiser than Clark Kent and bears the scars of a seasoned crime fighter, but retain the charm that the world sees in billionaire Bruce Wayne. I can't wait to work with him."
Affleck's first foray into playing a superhero was in the 2003 box office flop Daredevil; he also portrayed George Reeves, the star of the 1950s TV show Adventures of Superman, in the 2006 biographical drama Hollywoodland.
The movie will mark the first time Superman and Batman have met on the big screen.

Joan C. Williams
Distinguished Professor Joan C. Williams' book, What Works for Women at Work, with her daughter, Rachel Dempsey, was reviewed in Forbes.
Forbes' Susan Adams writes: "Williams and Dempsey devote much of the book to explaining the myriad ways that gender bias persists. Many of them are subtle and require nuanced behavioral fixes. The 'tightrope' chapters are especially telling. For instance, when men get angry at work, we aren't surprised and we just wait for the emotion to blow over. But when women get mad, it's another story." Read the full review here.
The book, from NYU Press, has a foreword by Anne-Marie Slaughter. It was named by the Washington Post as one of the top 10 books on leadership for 2014.
Robin Feldman
Professor Robin Feldman was quoted in the Wall Street Journal about New York Attorney General Eric T. Scheiderman's civil settlement with patent firm MPHJ Technology Investments, barring it from what he called deceptive tactics to get New York businesses to pay for patent licenses from a patent troll.
Feldman was among patent experts who thought the New York settlement could prove uniquely influential. "It's detailed and very carefully thought out," said Feldman. "It has the potential to serve as a model for others who are looking to craft legislation and regulation."
IP Watchdog quoted Feldman on the case as well. "Misrepresentation and downright fraud have become a major problem with patents, particularly against vulnerable targets like individuals and small businesses. Today's historic New York settlement agreement strikes at the heart of this inappropriate behavior while protecting the legitimate exercise of patent rights," Feldman said.
Feldman's research on patent trolls has been widely referenced as lawmakers attempt to reform the patent system. She testified before the House Committee on Energy & Commerce in November 2013.
"Patents are essential for innovation in this country, and patent rights are useless if one cannot enforce them. I am not talking here about the legitimate protection of an invention. I am talking about shadow games that exploit the system and prey on people's fears."
Osagie K. Obasogie
Professor Osagie Obasogie's new book, Blinded By Sight: Seeing Race Through the Eyes of the Blind, from Stanford University Press, has been excerpted in several publications, including Scientific American and the Boston Review.
"In my work, I have pushed the boundaries of the "race" ipsa loquitur trope by investigating the significance of race outside of vision. I critique the notion that race is visually obvious and suggest that the salience of race, in terms of its visually striking nature and attendant social significance, functions more by social rather than ocular mechanisms."
Reviews of his work have been positive. "Blinded By Sight is a lucidly and crisply written exploration of how blind and sighted individuals understand race as a visual phenomenon, and how those understandings are reflected within society," wrote Carroll Seron, Professor of Criminology and Law & Society at UC Irvine. "This masterful work is sure to make an enormous contribution, and to provoke debate."
David Jung
UC Hastings research into arbitration disclosure requirements was cited by the San Francisco Chronicle in its reporting on the struggle by consumer advocates seeking details from arbitration companies.
A decade-old California law already requires arbitration companies to post data on their cases online. The problem is that many don't do it. A UC Hastings study by Jung, Jamie Horowitz '12 and a team of students found that only half post any data, and it's short of what's required. Read the full report here.

The Yenkos were running MV code motor which probably was not certified and were going to be sold new with a 427. So they were not in compliance with federal regs. That leads to our conclusion of why the Yenko cars got the ACC tag.
Correct me if I am wrong but it appears Mark is stating that that information applied to TT would be furnished differently based on the plant... Example... LA produced cars with no stripe would have a - - since they did in fact paint the front ends, BUT Norwood would have standard information?
No - on the trim tag of my Norwood built Z. (GG) Original owner verified he ordered the car stripe delete , spoke with the man about 20 years ago who shot the stripes in 69-70. The 2nd owner had it done when he ordered the cowl hood through Milad Chevrolet.
As stated before 68 Big Block cars with black tail panels stripe delete cars. I talked to both original owner's who special order the cars without stripe's. One owner worked for Chevrolet in 1968 stilled owned the car when I saw the car both had - where the paint code on trim plate. Other car I own the car since 1981 has -1 where the paint code is on the trim tag. Did title search in my state & got MSO & original Dealer invoice plus all owner's names talked to original he stated to the dealer if it came with a stripe he would not take the car. Other previous owners stated car had no stripe. Further more If you will look at the trim plate section in this group it talks about. It show - being used on trim plate for stripe delete car as they were considered special order cars Do not no about z28's. It is shame that other people have shown you to this link on trim tags but yet you fail to look! Sorry for the long message but if I was not 100% sure what I was talking about I would keep my mouth shut . I have nothing to gain because I hope to never sell my car.

Imagine this: You wake up with the flu and you feel awful. Or maybe your kid wakes up with a virus and she looks like death warmed over. But it's a work day. And if you don't show, it's going to cost you a day's pay or, if you have that kind of boss, your job.
Maybe you're lucky, your job comes with paid sick time, and you never have to make this calculation. But a third of Massachusetts workers aren't so blessed: A whopping 1 million people in this state do jobs that come with no sick pay. So they heave themselves into workplaces when they shouldn't, or send sick kids to school on Tylenol and a prayer.

Bluetooth is an industrial specification that provides users a way to connect and exchange information between devices like personal computers, PDAs or mobile phones. Using the Bluetooth technology, users can achieve wireless voice and data transmission between devices at a low cost. Bluetooth also offers the possibility to create small wireless LANs and to synchronize devices.
The first part of this guide is to identify qualified and non-qualified devices that support the Bluetooth technology. This way, users can purchase Bluetooth devices that are known to work. After that, the guide explains how to configure the system kernel, identify the Bluetooth devices installed on the system and detected by the kernel and install the necessary basic Bluetooth tools.
The second part covers how to detect remote devices and how to establish a connection from or to them by either setting up radio frequency communication (RFCOMM) or by setting up a personal area network (PAN).
The last part of the guide lists in detail applications that can take advantage of all the possibilities offered by the Bluetooth technology.
A list of the currently supported devices can be found at:
As the latest Linux stable kernel is 2.6, the configuration will be done for
these series of the kernel. Most Bluetooth devices are connected to a USB port,
so USB will be enabled too. Please refer to the
Networking ---> <*> Bluetooth subsystem support ---> --- Bluetooth subsystem support <M> L2CAP protocol support <M> SCO links support <M> RFCOMM protocol support [*] RFCOMM TTY support <M> BNEP protocol support [*] Multicast filter support [*] Protocol filter support <M> HIDP protocol support Bluetooth device drivers ---> <M> HCI USB driver [*] SCO (voice) support <M> HCI UART driver [*] UART (H4) protocol support [*] BCSP protocol support [*] Transmit CRC with every BCSP packet <M> HCI BCM203x USB driver <M> HCI BPA10x USB driver <M> HCI BlueFRITZ! USB driver
(The four drivers below are for PCMCIA Bluetooth devices and will only show up if you have also selected PCMCIA support in your kernel.)<M> HCI DTL1 (PC Card) driver <M> HCI BT3C (PC Card) driver <M> HCI BlueCard (PC Card) driver <M> HCI UART (PC Card) device driver (The driver below is intended for HCI Emulation software.)<M> HCI VHCI (Virtual HCI device) driver (Move back three levels to Device Drives and then check if USB is enabled. This is required if you use a Bluetooth dongle, which are mostly USB based.)USB support ---> <*> Support for Host-side USB --- USB Host Controller Drivers <M> EHCI HCD (USB 2.0) support [ ] Full speed ISO transactions (EXPERIMENTAL) [ ] Root Hub Transaction Translators (EXPERIMENTAL) <*> OHCI HCD support <*> UHCI HCD (most Intel and VIA) support < > SL811HS HCD support
Now we'll reboot with our new kernel. If everything went fine, we will have a system that is Bluetooth ready.
(One way to check for the device)# cat /proc/bus/usb/devices | grep -e^[TPD] | grep -e Cls=e0 -B1 -A1 (The Cls=e0(unk. ) identifies the Bluetooth adapter.)T: Bus=02 Lev=02 Prnt=03 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#= 4 Spd=12 MxCh= 0 D: Ver= 1.10 Cls=e0(unk. ) Sub=01 Prot=01 MxPS=64 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor=0a12 ProdID=0001 Rev= 5.25 (Some might show up on lsusb from sys-apps/usbutils)# lsusb Bus 003 Device 002: ID 046d:c00e Logitech, Inc. Optical Mouse Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0db0:1967 Micro Star International Bluetooth Dongle
Now that the device is detected by the kernel, we need a layer that lets
applications communicate with the Bluetooth device. BlueZ provides the official
Linux Bluetooth stack. The ebuilds that provide what we need are
# emerge net-wireless/bluez-libs net-wireless/bluez-utils
Now it's time to see if the Bluetooth device is being picked up correctly by the system. We start up the required Bluetooth services first.
(Start up Bluetooth)# /etc/init.d/bluetooth start * Starting Bluetooth ... * Starting hcid ... [ ok ] * Starting sdpd ... [ ok ] * Starting rfcomm ... [ ok ] # hciconfig hci0: Type: USB BD Address: 00:01:02:03:04:05 ACL MTU: 192:8 SCO MTU: 64:8 DOWN RX bytes:131 acl:0 sco:0 events:18 errors:0 TX bytes:565 acl:0 sco:0 commands:17 errors:0
This shows that the Bluetooth device has been recognised. As you might have
noticed the device is
(Recommended changes to be made to the file are shown)# HCId options options { # Automatically initialize new devices autoinit yes; (Change security to "auto")# Security Manager mode # none - Security manager disabled # auto - Use local PIN for incoming connections # user - Always ask user for a PIN # security auto; # Pairing mode pairing multi; (You only need a pin helper if you are using <=bluez-libs-2.x and <=bluez-utils-2.x) (Change pin_helper to use /etc/bluetooth/pin-helper)# PIN helper pin_helper /etc/bluetooth/pin-helper; } # Default settings for HCI devices device { (Set your device name here, you can call it anything you want)# Local device name # %d - device id # %h - host name name "BlueZ at %h (%d)"; # Local device class class 0x3e0100; # Inquiry and Page scan iscan enable; pscan enable; # Default link mode lm accept; # Default link policy lp rswitch,hold,sniff,park; (Leave as is, if you don't know what exactly these do)# Authentication and Encryption (Security Mode 3) #auth enable; #encrypt enable; }
After that, we have to configure the Bluetooth device PIN. That will help in pairing this device with another one.
(Replace 123456 with your desired pin number.)123456
Now that we have concluded with the configuration of BlueZ, it's time to restart the necessary services.
# /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart
(We can also add it to the default runlevel.)# rc-update add bluetooth default * bluetooth added to runlevel default * rc-update complete.
Let's be sure that the Bluetooth daemons started correctly. If we can see that
(Check to see if the services are running)# ps -ae | grep hcid 26050 ? 00:00:00 hcid # ps -ae | grep sdpd 26054 ? 00:00:00 sdpd # hciconfig -a hci0: Type: USB BD Address: 00:0A:0B:0C:0D:0E ACL MTU: 192:8 SCO MTU: 64:8 UP RUNNING PSCAN ISCAN RX bytes:125 acl:0 sco:0 events:17 errors:0 TX bytes:565 acl:0 sco:0 commands:17 errors:0 Features: 0xff 0xff 0x0f 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 Packet type: DM1 DM3 DM5 DH1 DH3 DH5 HV1 HV2 HV3 Link policy: RSWITCH HOLD SNIFF PARK Link mode: SLAVE ACCEPT Name: 'BlueZ at bluehat (0)' Class: 0x3e0100 Service Classes: Networking, Rendering, Capturing, Object Transfer, Audio Device Class: Computer, Uncategorized HCI Ver: 1.1 (0x1) HCI Rev: 0x1e7 LMP Ver: 1.1 (0x1) LMP Subver: 0x1e7 Manufacturer: Cambridge Silicon Radio (10)
At this point we are now ready to detect Bluetooth devices installed in other
machines. This is independent of the host Operating System. We will make use of
# hcitool dev Devices: hci0 00:01:02:03:04:05
# hcitool scan Scanning ... 00:0A:0B:0C:0D:0E Grayhat
# hcitool inq Inquiring ... 00:0A:0B:0C:0D:0E clock offset: 0x5579 class: 0x72010c
Now that we know the MAC address of the remote Bluetooth devices, we can check if we paired them correctly.
# l2ping 00:0A:0B:0C:0D:0E Ping: 00:0A:0B:0C:0D:0E from 00:01:02:03:04:05 (data size 20) ... 20 bytes from 00:0A:0B:0C:0D:0E id 200 time 69.85ms 20 bytes from 00:0A:0B:0C:0D:0E id 201 time 9.97ms 20 bytes from 00:0A:0B:0C:0D:0E id 202 time 56.86ms 20 bytes from 00:0A:0B:0C:0D:0E id 203 time 39.92ms 4 sent, 4 received, 0% loss
We can establish a radio frequency connection to another Bluetooth device using
The whole segment of the config starting from
(Only changes that might be needed are shown)rfcomm0 { # Automatically bind the device at startup (Creates the device node, /dev/rfcomm0 at start up)bind yes; # Bluetooth address of the device (Enter the address of the device you want to connect to)device 00:0A:0B:0C:0D:0E; }
After configuring RFCOMM, we can connect to any device. Since we've made the
required settings to the
(The 0 refers to the rfcomm0 in the config file)# rfcomm connect 0 Connected /dev/rfcomm0 to 00:0A:0B:0C:0D:0E on channel 1 Press CTRL-C for hangup (If you did not edit /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf)# rfcomm connect 0 00:0A:0B:0C:0D:0E 1 Connected /dev/rfcomm0 to 00:0F:DE:69:50:24 on channel 1 Press CTRL-C for hangup
The first parameter after the connect command is the RFCOMM TTY device node that will be used (usually 0). The second parameter is the MAC address of the remote device. The third parameter is optional and specifies the channel to be used. Please, note that in order to connect to a device, that device must be listening for incoming connections. To do that, we have to explicitly tell it to listen. We can cancel the communication at any moment by just hitting CTRL+C.
# rfcomm listen 0 1 Waiting for connection on channel 1
In a similar way to the connect command, the listen command can receive two parameters. The first one explicits the RFCOMM TTY device node (usually 0) that will be used to accept a connection, while the second is the channel that will be used.
Each time you call the
# rfcomm -i hci0 listen 0 1 Waiting for connection on channel 1
(To listen to a determined device)# rfcomm -i hci0 connect 0 00:0A:0B:0C:0D:0E 1 (To use a determined device when connecting to another one)
First of all, we need the
# modprobe bnep # echo "bnep" >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
We have to start the
# pand --listen --role NAP --master --autozap
After doing that, we have a host listening, so the rest of hosts just have to connect to that one.
# pand --connect 00:0A:0B:0C:0D:0E --service NAP --autozap
If everything went fine, we can now configure the IP addresses of our hosts.
host0 # ifconfig bnep0 192.168.2.1 host1 # ifconfig bnep0 192.168.2.2 host0 # ifconfig bnep0 bnep0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0A:0B:0C:0D:0E inet addr:192.168.2.1 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::210:60ff:fea3:cb41/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:5 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:208 (208.0 b) TX bytes:188 (188.0 b) host1 # ifconfig bnep0 bnep0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:01:02:03:04:05 inet addr:192.168.2.2 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::210:60ff:fea2:dd2a/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:5 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:208 (208.0 b) TX bytes:188 (188.0 b)
Finally, we can do a simple test to see that the network is working fine.
host1 # ping 192.168.2.1 PING 192.168.2.1 (192.168.2.1) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.168.2.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=34.0 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.2.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=37.3 ms --- 192.168.2.1 ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet loss, time 1000ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 34.045/35.690/37.336/1.656 ms
We have quite a few Bluetooth applications that run on the desktop and this chapter has been divided into 3 parts, one each for Gnome, KDE and Miscellaneous applications.
If you are a gnome user, you will most probably go with
# emerge gnome-bluetooth
This adds menu entries under Applications > System Tools from where you can easily start up the manager or File sharing to transfer files between devices.
To transfer files (the easy way):
# emerge gnome-phone-manager
KDE makes use of
# emerge kdebluetooth

In the fall of 1984 Bright Lights, Big City, the debut novel by Jay McInerney, was published by an imprint of Knopf. The book seemed to its early readers not simply a piece of fiction but a kind of talisman; it appeared to summon the cultural promise of an entire generation coming of age under Reagan. It was told in the second person, and the insistent "you" was like a serial invitation, one to a new kind of life, in Manhattan, lit by a string of parties in the city's hipper quarters that might exhilarate you or make you feel despondent, but which certainly made the city itself feel alive again. For a stretch of time people had stopped believing in cities, even this one, and had, in patches, abandoned them, even this one. But Bright Lights was composed in the insubordinate spirit of a creative revival; it helped proclaim, to those who came and those who dreamed of coming, that New York City was available once more to the audacious and the reckless young.
In the spring of 1985, Knopf published Self-Help, an acerbic collection of stories by the precocious aphorist Lorrie Moore. Self-Help was also a debut, and it was also written largely in the second person, but it told a very different story about the allure of city life and the comforts of living in close quarters. One would not want to change places with anyone in Moore's New York–"it is like having a degree in failure," she wrote of living there–or, for that matter, with those characters in Scranton, Rochester or Owonta, who viewed the '80s not as a new frontier but as a deadening stretch of the same old disappointments, romantic, professional, intellectual and filial. A mordant series of devotional texts, Self-Help traced those disappointments, mapping the lean inner life of the American boom years. The second-person voice of Bright Lights was flat, credulous and smug; Moore's prose was briny, superior and self-loathing. The book was a study of the dream life of fatalism, and it was narrated in the clairvoyant mood.
"Meet in expensive beige raincoats, on a pea-soupy night. Like a detective movie," begins "How to Be an Other Woman," the cheeky first story in the collection. "Whisper, 'Don't go yet,' as he glides out of your bed before sunrise and you lie there on your back cooling, naked between the sheets and smelling of musky, oniony sweat. Feel gray, like an abandoned locker room towel." "Smoke marijuana," advises an entry in "How to Talk to Your Mother (Notes)." "Try to figure out what has made your life go wrong. It is like trying to figure out what is stinking up the refrigerator. It could be anything." "How to Become a Writer": "First, try to be something, anything, else. A movie star/astronaut. A movie star/missionary. A movie star/kindergarten teacher. President of the World. Fail miserably."

An accused September 11 conspirator was hustled out of the Guantanamo war crimes courtroom on Monday when he refused to stop shouting during a chaotic hearing that was cut short because one of the lawyers was ill.
"I have the right to talk!" Yemeni defendant Ramzi Binalshibh yelled in English.
After he ignored repeated warnings to be quiet, the judge ejected Binalshibh for disruptive conduct and guards in camouflage uniforms escorted him out of the courtroom at the Guantanamo Bay U.S. Naval Base in Cuba.
The judge, Army Colonel James Pohl, was questioning the five defendants about whether they understood their right to be present in court in order to assist in their defense.
Binalshibh and the alleged mastermind of the hijacked planes plot, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, responded with complaints about restrictions imposed during their meetings with lawyers.
The judge said he would deal with that issue later. Mohammed eventually relented but Binalshibh persisted, complaining loudly of sleep deprivation, among other things.
"You cannot make me stop talking," he yelled at the judge.
"Remove him now," the judge ordered after several warnings. The exchange continued as three guards led Binalshibh away out of microphone range but the judge appeared to have the last word: "Yes I can."
Court was recessed about 20 minutes after it started so ailing defense lawyer Cheryl Bormann could go to the hospital emergency room.
Bormann, who represents Yemeni defendant Walid bin Attash, was hoarse and barely able to speak. Her doctor ordered bed rest and court was adjourned until 9 a.m. EDT on Wednesday.
The judge was expected to decide this week whether to halt pretrial hearings in the slow-moving case until early next year to allow time to fix ongoing problems with the Pentagon computer system.
At a hearing in August, defense lawyers said their emails and work files were vanishing and that prosecutors and defense lawyers had temporarily been given access to each other's files.
Pentagon technicians were scheduled to testify this week about the extent of the problems and how much time and money it would take to fix.
Technical advisers have said it would take at least three months once a contract was signed and money allocated.
The five defendants are alleged al Qaeda conspirators who could be executed if convicted of charges that include mass murder, terrorism and hijacking.
The defendants were captured in 2002 and 2003 and were first charged at Guantanamo in 2008. The tribunals and the charges were revised by the Obama administration and the defendants were arraigned on the current version in May 2012.
A week after the United States observed the 12th anniversary of the hijacked plane attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people, the chief prosecutor, Army Brigadier General Mark Martins, said he sympathized with those who have grown frustrated that the trial still had not started.
He said the case was complex and the court was methodically working its way through the litigation.
"I want this thing to move. Justice delayed at some point really is justice denied," Martins told journalists at the Guantanamo base on Sunday.
"I feel the impatience of those who want it to move faster. That said, we don't want to rush to failure and we want to do justice, not set some sort of standard that's based purely on speed."

Can the giants of social media be challenged to mend their ways?
The logic behind a new Social Network called Paybookclub Cash for Content, which runs on mobile phones as a simple App, goes like this : Usually on social media, the average person will share their photo or their witty status. Although the post is that users' property, companies across the social network will repost or repurpose the content and the person who posted it will get nothing.
Paybookclub aims to challenge this kind of behaviour by rewarding the users who share their content and who receive likes or shares from their followers. It is the aim of Paybookclub to become the global marketplace for content where millions will find gainful employment for a lifetime."
In a bid to change the status quo, Paybookclub Cash for Content is giving a million customers the chance to own shares in the company during this Christmas and festive season. The shares that are being offered to customers include a free mobile membership for the social network, and will carry other rewards such as a loyalty bonus.
The social site operates by rewarding its users for posting their content on its platform, allowing them to earn cash for every like and share they receive on their posts, as well as money for time spent on the network.
The Paybookclub Cash for Content App, which can be downloaded free from Google Play, the App store and from the networks' own website, is a feature rich social network where you can have all the fun you normally have with your friends and family on social networks, with an extra layer of security as all accounts are required to be verified.
The social network was developed by Capexsales Ltd, a marketing firm based in the West Midlands, to offer people an alternative to Facebook and other social networking sites. The primary difference with Paybookclub is the monetary incentives and increased levels of safety it offers. Users not only feel completely safe using the platform, but they're also able make money for their time spent browsing social media on a daily basis.
Paybookclub has now launched the Sign Up Million Members campaign, giving details of the company shares scheme, as well as further information on the offer of a free membership and loyalty scheme in the terms of service on the company's website – www.paybook.club
Apart from setting an innovative trend in social networking, Paybookclub offers tomorrow's technology today, ensuring the highest security to members with fingerprint/iris scan and encryption. Paybookclub app is just a front end for a fast and highly scalable web application based on Mongo DB™, AWS™, sophisticated analytics and PUSH communication.
